rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
Do you have "RECYCLER"? It should appear in the root of each partition on each hd. That's where deleted files are stored. Click on recycler and you should see some other files with numbers. Double click on one of them and you may see Nprotect. This is true of my 2 desktops (one with a new clean install before Norton was installed) and 2 laptops. Although not every partition has nprotect in the RECYCLER directory.

Even tho I have hidden files enabled, nprotect didn't show unless I double clicked the folder inside RECYCLER. It was the nprotect folder where I found many undeleted files that I hadn't purged before I uninstalled Norton 2004.

On the clean installed test machine, I installed NAV 2003 Pro and disabled the Norton Protected recyle bin, but there are Nprotect folders in each of the 3 partitions (2 on Drive #1 and 1 on Drive#2) but they are empty except for the Nprotect Log.

The lesson I learned was to always purge a Norton Protected Recycle bin before disabling it or before removing NAV to try something else. Otherwise the only way you can delete what is left behind is through the command prompt.
